Abstract

A columnar spacer is interposed between a first substrate and a second substrate for holding a liquid crystal layer between them. The columnar spacer is formed in such a manner as to have an area superposed, in each pixel, with the contact hole formed in the first substrate and an area not superposed with said contact hole. Even in the case where the first and second substrates attached to each other are displaced from each other, the columnar spacer never falls in the contact hole and a desired cell gap can be positively secured. Also, since the columnar spacer is not located in the contact hole, no margin for substrate attachment is required to form the contact hole in the first substrate, thereby improving the open area ratio effective for display for improved display quality.

Technical field

The relevant transmission column of the present invention dagger is with a pair of baseplate-laminating liquid crystal indicator together of clamping liquid crystal layer.

Background technology

In recent years, liquid crystal indicator was because thin thickness, little power consumption, and what be widely used in portable data assistance such as OA equipment, electronic memos such as word processor, personal computer or LCD monitor arranged shoots with video-corder one-piece type VTR etc.

Liquid crystal indicator is not the display device of CRT (cathode-ray tube (CRT)) or EL active illuminating types such as (electroluminescence), is broadly divided into reflection-type and transmission-type usually.The light that the transmissive liquid crystal display device utilization is configured in display panels lighting device (so-called backlight) behind shows that the light around the liquid crystal indicator utilization of reflection-type shows.

Transmissive liquid crystal display device shows so be subjected to bright dark influence little, have and can carry out the strong point that high-contrast shows on every side because of the light with backlight, but because backlight is arranged, so the many shortcomings of power consumption are also arranged.Be being consumed by backlight more than 50% of power consumption in the common transmissive liquid crystal display device.In addition, under very bright environment for use (for example fine outdoor), its visual identification performance reduces, in addition, if keep visual identification performance and the brightness that improves backlight, then power consumption is just bigger.This point also is its weak point.

On the other hand, reflection-type liquid-crystal display device so the economic advantage of power consumption is arranged, is carried to outdoor quite suitable as display because of no backlight.But reflection-type liquid-crystal display device also has the weakness of visual identification degradation in dark environment for use.

As the liquid crystal indicator that remedies above-mentioned transmission-type and reflection-type liquid-crystal display device weak point, a kind of liquid crystal indicator with Transflective dual-purpose type of the function that can show with transmission-type and reflection-type dual mode was proposed in recent years.

Transflective dual-purpose type liquid crystal indicator has the optical transmission pixel electrode of the reflection of reflection ambient light with pixel electrode and transmission backlight at a pixel region.Thus,, can switch the demonstration of transmission mode and the demonstration of reflection mode and show, in addition, also can carry out the demonstration of above-mentioned two kinds of display modes simultaneously according to environment for use (brightness on every side).

Thereby Transflective dual-purpose type liquid crystal indicator has the characteristics of little characteristics of reflection-type liquid-crystal display device power consumption and transmissive liquid crystal display device concurrently, promptly is subjected to the characteristics that bright dark influence is little and high-contrast that can become clear shows on every side.Can remedy the weakness that descends in the visual identification performance of extremely bright environment for use (for example Qing Tian open air) transmissive liquid crystal display device again.

But such scheme is proposed also, promptly in above-mentioned Transflective dual-purpose type liquid crystal indicator, make liquid crystal layer regional transmission on the TFT substrate make different thickness, promptly make the structure (for example with reference to patent documentation 1) in multiple gap with reflector space with birefringence.Below be briefly described this liquid crystal indicator.

The sectional drawing that Figure 15 constitutes for the multiple gap of expression mode liquid crystal indicator summary.Fig. 16 is the planimetric map of first substrate 101 of the TFT106 of the above-mentioned liquid crystal indicator of formation.This liquid crystal indicator forms with first substrate 101 and second substrate, 102 clamping liquid crystal layers 103.

As shown in figure 16, on first substrate 101, form the connect up structure of 105 mutually orthogonals of many grid wirings 104 and many roots utmost point.With adjacent grid wiring 104 and source wiring 105 round part constitute a pixel.And, on the cross section of grid wiring 104 and source wiring 105, form TFT106 as on-off element.The drain electrode 106a of TFT106 is arranged to and covers gate insulating film 108 intersections of auxiliary capacitor with electrode 107 as shown in figure 15.

On first substrate 101, form again and transparency electrode 109 that drain electrode 106a is electrically connected.The subregion of transparency electrode 109 is the regional transmission of control optical transmission.Form interlayer dielectric 110 on the zone beyond the regional transmission on first substrate 101, reflecting electrode 111 forms on this interlayer dielectric 110.The zone that forms reflecting electrode 111 becomes the reflector space of control light reflection on every side.Form alignment films 112 on transparency electrode 109 and the reflecting electrode 111.

On interlayer dielectric 110, regional transmission and reflector space boundary member are done tapered again, also form reflecting electrode 111 on its surface.Also have, the reflecting electrode 111 1 of tapering part shines light, and reflected light just is trapped between a pair of substrate to go out not go, and the utilization ratio of light reduces as a result.Below, because of the zone of the reflecting electrode 111 that forms at tapering part is helpless to show incident light, so be called the taper useless region.

In addition, stacked in regular turn dyed layer 113, counter electrode 114, alignment films 115 on second substrate 102.

In the above-mentioned liquid crystal indicator, at reflector space column dagger 116 is set first substrate 101 and second substrate 102 are fit together, make the thickness T d of regional transmission liquid crystal layer 103 be about the twice of thickness Rd of the liquid crystal layer 103 of reflector space.Like this, by realizing different element gaps at regional transmission and reflector space, thereby in the phasic difference of regional transmission and reflector space near (Δ nd), display characteristic is improved.

For realizing above-mentioned multiple gap, at regional transmission, the interlayer dielectric 110 on first substrate 101 must be done thinly, or remove.Usually, this layer by layer between dielectric film 110 form by photosensitive resin, control its thickness by photo-mask process.Promptly, remove the thickness of interlayer dielectric 110 in the time of determining to develop by regulating time shutter to regional transmission.

In addition, the formation of column dagger is set between a pair of substrate about the clamping liquid crystal layer, announcement is for example also arranged in patent documentation 2.

The sectional drawing that the liquid crystal indicator summary that Figure 17 records and narrates for expression patent documentation 2 constitutes.This liquid crystal indicator forms auxiliary capacitor with electrode 204 and data arrange at transmission gate insulating film 203 on the address wiring 202 on first substrate, 201 surfaces on one deck, form auxiliary capacitor 205 with auxiliary capacitor with electrode 204 and address wiring 202.On the interlayer dielectric 206 of the part that forms auxiliary capacitor 205, form contact hole 207, the pixel electrode 208 and the auxiliary capacitor that form on the interlayer dielectric 206 are electrically connected with electrode 204 with this contact hole 207.

In addition, on second substrate 211, form chromatic color filter 212, simultaneously, utilize the stacked formation column dagger 213 of dyed layer.First substrate 201 and second substrate, 211 transflective liquid crystal layers 214 fit together, and make the front end of column dagger 213 be placed in the contact hole 207.

Also have, in the patent documentation 3 described liquid crystal indicators, a pair of substrate that forms holding liquid crystal by the resin material that becomes black with electroless plating remains on the column dagger that a determining deviation is used, thereby prevents light diffuse reflection, and the reduction of contrast.

, the size of column dagger 116 is not done investigation fully in the patent documentation 1.Thereby, fit when departing from first substrate 101 and second substrate 102, column dagger 116 is dropped into contact hole (removing the regional transmission part of interlayer dielectric 110 among Figure 15) sometimes, and the problem of existence is to guarantee desired element gap reliably.

In addition, and for example patent documentation 2, even make column dagger 213 be positioned at contact hole 207, applying when first substrate 201 and second substrate 211 departs from similarly, column dagger 213 just can not be placed in the contact hole 207 when

column dagger

213 and 207 position coordinateses of contact hole departed from, and can't obtain desired liquid crystal layer 214 thickness.

Therefore, the applying precision (applying surplus A) of for example supposing first substrate 201 and second substrate 211 is when the diameter of 5 μ m, column dagger 213 is 12 μ m up and down, in order reliably column dagger 213 to be placed in the contact hole 207, contact hole 207 bottom internal diameters must be made 22 μ m at least.

Therefore, for example when reflector space was provided with contact hole 207, the thickness of the liquid crystal layer 214 in the zone of formation contact hole 207 was not desired thickness, become the useless region that is helpless to show, but applying surplus A only is set, just enlarges this useless region, produce the problem that aperture opening ratio reduces.In addition, around applying surplus A that is the column dagger 213 in the zone of at least 5 μ m, remain with the zone of the thickness of liquid crystal layer 214 than desired thickness, also just become the main cause that causes contrast to reduce (even should the zone to showing help, demonstration is brought dysgenic zone) but also become.

Summary of the invention

The present invention proposes for addressing the above problem, its purpose is to provide a kind of liquid crystal indicator, departs from although the applying of a pair of substrate of this device clamping liquid crystal layer produces, and still can guarantee desired element gap reliably, the effective vent rate of demonstration is improved, and improve display quality.

For achieving the above object, liquid crystal indicator of the present invention comprise the clamping liquid crystal layer a pair of substrate, be configured in the column dagger between above-mentioned two substrates and show a plurality of pixels of usefulness, described column dagger and contact hole are set in pixel, described column dagger has and described contact hole overlapping areas and nonoverlapping zone on the section configuration parallel with substrate.

According to above-mentioned formation, even producing, the applying between for example a pair of substrate departs from, in the not overlapping region of column dagger and contact hole part, also the thickness between a pair of substrate can be remained on desired thickness.Thereby, even the applying of a pair of substrate departs from, still can remain on desired thickness with being clamped in liquid crystal layer therebetween thickness.

In addition, because the column dagger in the pixel is on the section configuration parallel with substrate, except have with the contact hole overlapping areas, also have and its nonoverlapping zone, even if depart from so the applying of substrate produces, the column dagger can not be placed on contact hole inside, therefore, on a side substrate, form in the process of contact hole, needn't resemble again and consider the position deviation of column dagger existing and the applying surplus is set.Its result can design on pixel, dispose the column dagger, avoids the expansion of the useless region that is helpless to show, makes the area of viewing area not reduce, and promptly each aperture ratio of pixels does not reduce.Finally can avoid contrast to reduce, improve display quality.

That is,, depart from even if the applying of substrate is produced, but can make the column dagger be configured to not fall into contact hole inside, cover the part of its peristome at least with existing processes according to the present invention.By like this, can keep the thickness of suitable liquid crystal layer reliably.In addition, because of reducing the useless region of contact hole and column dagger two region generating in the lump, can strengthen to showing each aperture ratio of pixels of usefulness, so estimate to improve display quality.

Embodiment

[example 1]

Referring now to accompanying drawing the present invention's one example is described as follows.

Fig. 1 is the sectional drawing of the liquid crystal indicator summary formation of this example of expression, and Fig. 2 is the planimetric map of first substrate 1 of above-mentioned liquid crystal indicator.

The liquid crystal indicator of this example is the Transflective dual-purpose type liquid crystal indicator with regional transmission and reflector space, uses a pair of substrate clamping liquid crystal layer of being made up of first substrate 1 and second substrate 23.In this example, liquid crystal layer 3 adopts can be with the pattern-driven liquid crystal of ECB (Electrically ControlledBirefringence electrically conerolled birefringence), and promptly the liquid crystal indicator of this example adopts the mode of the birefringence control incident optical transmission/cut-out of liquid crystal.

The formation of first substrate, 1 one sides is described earlier.

First substrate 1 is made of insulativity transparency carrier (for example glass substrate), and its surface forms many source bus line 11 and many grid buss 12 as shown in Figure 2 orthogonally.And, adjacent source bus line 11 and grid bus 12 round part constitute a pixel.Therefore, each pixel arrangement becomes rectangular.Source bus line 11 and grid bus 12 work as the electric wiring to each pixel service voltage.

The infall of source bus line 11 and grid bus 12 is disposing as the TFT (Thin Flim Transistor thin film transistor (TFT)) 13 that each pixel is carried out the active switch element of 0N/OFF switch.The gate electrode 13a of TFT13 connects grid bus 12, and source electrode 13b connects source bus line 11, and drain electrode 13c connects pixel electrode 14.In addition, form auxiliary capacitor on first substrate 1,, form gate insulating film 16 in order to cover this auxiliary capacitor with electrode 15 with electrode 15.

Described pixel electrode 14 is made of transparency electrode 14a and reflecting electrode (reflecting plate) 14b.Transparency electrode 14a for example uses the nesa coating that is formed by ITO to constitute.Reflecting electrode 14b for example uses the metal film that is formed by Al or Ag to constitute.Stacking gradually interlayer dielectric 17,18 on drain electrode 13c, transparency electrode 14a and reflecting electrode 14b are formed at the surface (male and fomale(M﹠F)) of interlayer dielectric 18.That is, interlayer dielectric 18 covers at least a portion among the TFT13, and pixel electrode 14 is located at the upper strata of at least a portion of this interlayer dielectric 18.

In each pixel, the zone that forms transparency electrode 14a is carried out the regional transmission that transmission-type shows by the optical transmission of control from not shown light source ejaculation thereby constitute.On the other hand, the zone that forms reflecting electrode 14b is carried out the reflector space that reflection-type shows by the outside reflection of light of control thereby constitute.

Be in this example, the pixel electrode 14 that forms on first substrate 1 is transparency electrode 14a that is arranged on the zone and the mixed structure that is arranged on the reflecting electrode 14b of reflector space, above-mentioned electrode is cut apart in the plane and is constituted.

Like this, by have regional transmission and reflector space in a pixel, each pixel energy shows according to any pattern in transmission mode and the reflective-mode, also can show simultaneously according to two kinds of patterns.

Also have, reflecting electrode 14b also can form transparency electrode 14a under it shown in this example, and also can form (electric also connection) on transparency electrode 14a.In addition, transparency electrode 14a and reflecting electrode 14b also only can utilize an overlapping structure at edge separately, and electric going up connects, and in addition, other part also can be overlapping.

Form the contact hole 19 that pixel electrode 14 (reflecting electrode 14b) and drain electrode 13c are electrically connected on the reflector space.This contact hole 19 for example can form by utilizing photoetching technique to remove interlayer dielectric 18.And, in the liquid crystal layer 3 one sides formation alignment films 20 of pixel electrode 14.

Below, the formation of second substrate, 2 one sides is described.

Second substrate, 2 usefulness insulativity transparency carriers (for example glass substrate) constitute, its surface go up stacked as the dyed layer 21 of color filter layer, the counter electrode 22 that for example forms by ITO (indium tin oxide), reach alignment films 23.

Dyed layer 21 and the pixel matching setting that on the part of counter electrode 22 and pixel electrode 14 mutual subtends, forms.In addition, dyed layer 21 has peristome 21a on the part of echo area.Form the dyed layer 21 of same pigment concentration at regional transmission and reflector space, so, show the matching that can both obtain brightness in transmission-type demonstration and reflection-type by peristome 21a is set at reflector space.

In addition, on second substrate 2, form hyaline layer 24 for the peristome 21a that is covered with chromatograph 21.At reflector space, counter electrode 22 is located on this hyaline layer 24.Hyaline layer 24 forms according to almost identical with the reflecting electrode 14b of first substrate, 1 one sides size, and the thickness that regional transmission liquid crystal layer 3 forms is thicker than the thickness of reflector space liquid crystal layer 3.Be specially, the thickness T d of regional transmission liquid crystal layer 3 is about the twice of reflector space liquid crystal layer 3 thickness Rd.Thus, can make the optical length coupling that reflection-type shows and transmission-type shows.

In this example, hyaline layer 24 is arranged on second substrate 2 different with first substrate 1 that reflecting electrode 14b is set, because reflecting electrode 14b is tabular outside the zone of column dagger 25 described later is set, so, the taper useless region shown in Figure 15 and Figure 16 in the viewing area, do not had.Therefore, adopt the formation of this example, can avoid the utilization ratio of light to reduce.

First substrate 1 of clamping liquid crystal layer 3 and second substrate, 2 transmission column daggers 25 fit together, and make

alignment films

20 and 23 subtends.Thus, the thickness of the liquid crystal layer 3 of regional transmission and reflector space keeps certain by column dagger 25.

Alignment films

20 and 23 mutual actings in conjunction for example make liquid crystal layer 3 horizontal alignments.

Below, describe column dagger 25 in detail.

Column dagger 25 is arranged to be in roughly the same position with the contact hole 19 of first substrate 1 on hyaline layer 24.Formations such as column dagger 25 usefulness organic materials, inorganic material or resist as resist, for example can consider that rubber is that the poly-pentadiene of photoresist cyclisation is a photoresist, i.e. OMR-80 (Tokyo should be changed (strain) and produce) or CBR-M901 (production of JSR company) etc.

In addition, for example HTPR-1100 polyimide such as (east beautiful (strain) produce) also shows good photonasty, is suitable as the material of column dagger 25.Have, also photosensitive color resin, eurymeric or the negative resist of the RGB that uses such as available chromatic color filter and black, polysiloxane, polysilane etc. constitute column dagger 25 again.When constituting column dagger 25 with inorganic material, SiO ₂Deng being the material that is fit to.

In addition, the also available NN700 (production of JSR company) that dyes black by black pigment of column dagger 25 forms.Thus, column dagger 25 becomes black, can alleviate the harmful effect to showing that contact hole 19 and column dagger 25 produce.

In this example, be that column dagger 25 and contact hole 19 are set in pixel, column dagger 25 is formed with and contact hole 19 overlapping areas and nonoverlapping zone on the section configuration parallel with substrate (first substrate 1 and second substrate 2).Like this, constituting the feature that has maximum of the present invention on the column dagger 25,, illustrated referring now to Fig. 3 A and 3B to this.

Fig. 3 A is expression contact hole 19 and the shape of column dagger 25 and the floor map that the position concerns an example.Contact hole 19 forms according to conical in shape with respect to the substrate thickness direction, makes its peristome 19a quadrate.Be contact hole 19 peristome 19a width (internal diameter) than its bottom 19b width (internal diameter) big.

In addition, column dagger 25 is made of than the polygon-octagonal more than the long 2 μ m of the edge lengths a of the peristome 19a of contact hole 19 distance b between two limits of subtend on column dagger 25 sections.Thus, can realize the peristome 19a breadth extreme also big section configuration of the breadth extreme of column dagger 25 than contact hole 19.And a part that is positioned at the column dagger 25 on the peristome 19a of contact hole 19 constitutes and contact hole 19 overlapping areas A, and a part of column dagger 25 that is positioned at contact hole 19 outsides constitutes and contact hole 19 nonoverlapping area B.

Like this, by being formed on the column dagger 25 that has on the section configuration parallel with contact hole 19 overlapping areas A and nonoverlapping area B with substrate, thereby shown in Fig. 3 B, when for example the applying of 2 of first substrate 1 and second substrates departs from, the peristome 19a of contact hole 19 although column dagger 25 can not be annihilated fully, but owing to necessarily have column dagger 25 and contact hole 19 nonoverlapping area B, so column dagger 25 can not fall in the contact hole 19, can will remain on required thickness between first substrate 1 and second substrate 2.By like this,, also can make the thickness of liquid crystal layer 3 remain on required thickness reliably, thereby can produce the liquid crystal indicator that is no more than the production surplus with existing processes even fit when departing from first substrate 1 and second substrate 2.

In addition, in this example, because a part of being arranged to column dagger 25 covers the part of the peristome 19a of contact hole 19 at least, do not allow column dagger 25 be configured in the inside of contact hole 19, so in the process that forms contact hole 19, needn't consider as existing that the position deviation of column dagger 25 is provided with the applying surplus.Thus, can avoid enlarging the useless region that is helpless to show, can avoid each pixel aperture ratio to reduce, can also avoid the reduction of contrast simultaneously, improve display quality.

Particularly as mentioned above, if the section configuration bigger than the breadth extreme of the peristome 19a of the contact hole 19 of the last setting of a substrate (first substrate 1) with the breadth extreme of column dagger 25 forms column dagger 25, even if then being fitted with between first substrate 1 and second substrate 2 departed from, can prevent reliably that also column dagger 25 from falling in the contact hole 19.By like this, can positively accomplish to guarantee the element gap, positively obtain above-mentioned effect of the present invention.

Also have, as structure being made to have the big section configuration formation column dagger 25 of area than the peristome 19a of contact hole 19, even if then the applying of 2 of first substrate 1 and second substrates departs from, but because of the column dagger 25 peristome 19a that can be annihilated fully, so can guarantee the effect of the invention described above more reliably.

Also have, the section of column dagger 25 (with the xsect on second substrate, 2 parallel directions) shape is not limited to above-mentioned polygon-octagonal, also can anisotropic polygon, circle, ellipse etc. be arranged for quadrilateral, triangle etc.In addition, the section configuration of contact hole 19 also is not limited to above-mentioned square, can be the anisotropic polygon of having of other, circle, ellipse etc.

Thereby, the breadth extreme of the breadth extreme of the column dagger 25 that mentions in this example and the peristome 19a of contact hole 19 can be thought, when their section is polygon, the maximal value that is equivalent to the diagonal line or the length of side, section is equivalent to diameter when being circular, section is equivalent to the length of major axis when being oval.

More than, making its breadth extreme situation also wideer than the breadth extreme of the peristome 19a of contact hole 19 with formation column dagger 25 is that example is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited thereto certainly.As long as being formed in the column dagger 25 that has on the section configuration parallel with substrate with contact hole 19 overlapping areas and nonoverlapping zone just can.

For example, Fig. 4 A and Fig. 4 B are the breadth extreme of expression column dagger 25 floor map than an example of the breadth extreme of the peristome 19a of contact hole 19 hour,

contact hole

19 and 25 positions relations of column dagger, Fig. 4 A represents that the applying of substrate does not have to produce situation about departing from, and Fig. 4 B represents that the applying of substrate produces situation about departing from.Also have, the breadth extreme direction of the breadth extreme direction of column dagger 25 and the peristome 19a of contact hole 19 is quadrature in this figure.

Even in the occasion that constitutes column dagger 25 like this, because column dagger 25 is on the section configuration parallel with substrate, have and contact hole 19 overlapping areas A and nonoverlapping area B, so for example when the applying generation of substrate departs from, utilize column dagger 25 and parts contact hole 19 nonoverlapping area B, can will remain the interval of regulation between a pair of substrate.In addition, owing on column dagger 25, exist and contact hole 19 nonoverlapping area B, so column dagger 25 can not be positioned at the inside of contact hole 19.Therefore, even if in this case, also can obtain the effect of the invention described above.

From as can be known above-mentioned, liquid crystal indicator of the present invention also can be to say, be at the substrate (first substrate 1, second substrate 2) of a pair of clamping liquid crystal layer 3 of fitting by column dagger 25 and utilize in the liquid crystal indicator that a plurality of pixels show, overlapping in each pixel as long as column dagger 25 becomes its part and is located at least a portion of the contact hole 19 on the substrate (first substrate 1).

Also have, about column dagger 25 formation with a part of overlapping areas of contact hole 19 is arranged on its section configuration, promptly, on column dagger 25 and the detailed content of the overlapping formation of the part of contact hole 19 overlapping areas (above-mentioned regional A) and contact hole 19, will describe in the example 3 afterwards.

The alignment films 23 of second substrate 2 is made friction treatment, considers this point, and it is vertical that preferably column dagger 25 is arranged to make the minimum widith direction of the frictional direction of second substrate 2 and column dagger 25.It is the reasons are as follows.

Fig. 5 A and Fig. 5 B floor map for concerning between expression frictional direction of second substrate 2 and column dagger 25 allocation positions, Fig. 5 A represents column dagger 25 is configured to the long side direction situation vertical with above-mentioned frictional direction, and Fig. 5 B represents column dagger 25 is configured to the short side direction situation vertical with above-mentioned frictional direction.

Generally, as after forming column dagger 25, alignment films 23 being carried out friction treatment, then look from column dagger 25, on the downstream direction of friction, because the existence of column dagger 25 friction cloth bumps less than alignment films 23, shown in Fig. 5 A and Fig. 5 B, occur friction that liquid crystal is not orientated less than position 26.

So, shown in Fig. 5 B, the frictional direction by column dagger 25 being arranged to second substrate 2 and the minimum widith direction (short side direction) of column dagger 25 are vertical, thereby the basal area at column dagger 25 is a timing, compare with other collocation method, can reduce since the friction that column dagger 25 causes less than the projected area at position 26, thus, can alleviate the reduction of display performance.

Consider the minimizing of this projected area, the section configuration of column dagger 25 is preferably the polygon (octagon shown in Fig. 5 A and Fig. 5 B or rectangle etc.) that minor face is arranged having on the parallel direction of frictional direction on the direction vertical with frictional direction of long limit, or for major axis being arranged on the direction parallel with frictional direction and the ellipse etc. of minor axis being arranged on the direction vertical with frictional direction.

Here, liquid crystal layer 3 for example constitutes with the material that vertical orientated property is arranged, and then can substrate not made friction treatment and make liquid crystal indicator.That is, can constitute the liquid crystal indicator of fitting with a pair of substrate (first substrate 1, second substrate 2) without friction treatment.Therefore, at this moment, can not produce the orientation defective that causes owing to friction treatment, so by adopting such formation can solve the problem that above-mentioned display performance reduces yet.

In addition, Fig. 6 A and Fig. 6 B are the shape of expression contact hole 19 and column dagger 25 and the floor map of other example that the position concerns.Also have, the formation here as shown in Figure 6A, though the peristome 19a of contact hole 19 is and Fig. 3 A and the same square of Fig. 3 B, column dagger 25 by have on the frictional direction of second substrate 2 long limit, simultaneously with above-mentioned frictional direction vertical direction on the octagon section (section is not a polygon-octagonal) of minor face arranged and constitute.

Best column dagger 25 has than the width more than the big 2 μ m of width of the peristome 19a of the contact hole on the above-mentioned frictional direction 19, and as the breadth extreme on this frictional direction.At this moment, shown in Fig. 6 B, depart from even the applying of substrate produces, also one guarantees column dagger 25 and contact hole 19 nonoverlapping zones surely reliably.Simultaneously with column dagger 25 is configured to compare when long side direction and above-mentioned frictional direction become vertical direction, in the time of positively reducing friction since the friction that existence caused of column dagger 25 less than the projected area at position 26.That is, depart from, still can try hard to take into account two aspects of guaranteeing the element gap of stipulating and avoiding the display performance reduction even the position of substrate has.

In addition, best column dagger 25 has than the width below the little 2 μ m of width of the peristome 19a of the contact hole 19 on the direction vertical with above-mentioned frictional direction, and as the minimum widith on this vertical direction.At this moment, because can be by the peristome 19a of contact hole 19, liquid crystal infiltrates the inside of contact hole 19, and liquid crystal can positively be full of contact hole 19 inside, so can prevent the light leak that the liquid crystal bubbles zone takes place.

In this example, form contact hole 19 on the reflector space simultaneously, corresponding with this contact hole 19, column dagger 25 is located at reflector space.Thus, have on the liquid-crystal apparatus of the reflection-type of reflector space or Transflective dual-purpose type, can obtain the effect of the invention described above.That is, the formation of this example is not only applicable to the liquid crystal indicator of the Transflective dual-purpose type shown in Fig. 1, and is applicable to and thus, can obtains the effect same with the present invention by the liquid crystal indicator of reflection-type shown in Figure 7.

Promptly, as long as on the substrate (first substrate 1) in a pair of substrate of clamping liquid crystal layer 3, many roots utmost point bus 11, grid bus 12 are set, as the TFT13 of on-off element 2, and pixel electrode 14 is set at the upper strata transmission interlayer dielectric 18 of at least a portion of this on-off element, pixel electrode 14 comprises reflecting electrode 14b, forming contact hole 19 makes the drain electrode 13c of reflecting electrode 14b above-mentioned on-off element be electrically connected, be the liquid crystal indicator that constitutes so as mentioned above, we can say and to use the present invention.

In addition, even, also can use the formation of this example for the column dagger in that only constituting in the transmissive liquid crystal display device of pixel electrode with transparency electrode of contact hole and column dagger arranged.Its detailed content describes example 2 afterwards.

In addition, be that the situation that adopts the such three-terminal element of TFT13 is described in this example, but the situation of (Metal Insulator Metal metal-insulator-metal) the such two ends element that for example adopts MIM, the present invention also is suitable for.

Therefore, the structure of liquid crystal indicator of the present invention also can be made and many electric wirings and on-off elements (for example TFT13 or MIM) to the pixel service voltage is being set on the substrate (first substrate 1), cover the interlayer dielectric 18 of this on-off element part and the pixel electrode 14 on this interlayer dielectric 18 at least a portion upper stratas at least, and the contact hole 19 of formation makes the pixel electrode 14 and the extraction electrode (for example drain electrode) of above-mentioned on-off element be electrically connected.

In addition, column dagger 25 can be configured on all pixels of liquid crystal indicator viewing area, also can only be configured on the partial pixel.Be in the pixel of viewing area, also the pixel that can have is not dispose the pixel of column dagger 25.We can say that from this point column dagger 25 is as long as form on a pixel at least in the viewing area.

Also have, more than Shuo Ming liquid crystal indicator of the present invention can also be with following form performance.

Constituting of liquid crystal indicator of the present invention, at transmission column dagger with a pair of baseplate-laminating of clamping liquid crystal layer together and on the liquid crystal indicator that shows by a plurality of pixels, column dagger and contact hole are set in this pixel, this column dagger has and contact hole overlapping areas and nonoverlapping zone on the section configuration parallel with substrate.

Constituting of liquid crystal indicator of the present invention is at first substrate 1 of the drain electrode that comprises the reflection horizon (reflecting electrode) that forms on the pixel electrode that has many grid wirings, source wiring and on-off element, be located at the upper strata of this on-off element by insulation course, this pixel electrode and be electrically connected with this pixel electrode; Form second substrate of counter electrode; And be clamped in liquid crystal layer between first substrate and second substrate on interior liquid crystal indicator, keep and column dagger diameter that the gap of second substrate is used greater than the internal diameter of contact hole, and the part of the part of column dagger and contact hole is overlapping.

Constituting of liquid crystal indicator of the present invention is in above-mentioned liquid crystal indicator, with the above-mentioned column dagger above-mentioned contact hole that is annihilated.

Constituting of liquid crystal indicator of the present invention, in above-mentioned liquid crystal indicator, the diameter of column dagger forms more than the big 2 μ m of internal diameter than contact hole top.

Constituting of liquid crystal indicator of the present invention, in above-mentioned liquid crystal indicator, it is parallel with the frictional direction of the substrate that the column dagger is arranged that section configuration has the long side direction of anisotropic column dagger to be set at, and the length on this length limit forms more than the big 2 μ m of contact hole top internal diameter than the direction parallel with above-mentioned frictional direction.

Constituting of liquid crystal indicator of the present invention, in above-mentioned liquid crystal indicator, with respect to the frictional direction of the substrate that the column dagger is arranged, the vertical column dagger bond length of setting is than more than the little 2 μ m of the contact hole top internal diameter on the direction vertical with above-mentioned frictional direction in base plan.

[example 2]

With reference to accompanying drawing, now other example of the present invention is described as follows.Also have, the identical member numbering of mark on the formation identical with this example 1, it illustrates omission.

In this example,, identical with the formation of example 1 except constituting the liquid crystal indicator with transmission-type.That is, in this example, will be about the transmissive liquid crystal display device that is configured for of the example 1 of column dagger 25.Below, the transmissive liquid crystal display device of this example is described.

Fig. 8 is the sectional drawing of the liquid crystal indicator summary formation of this example of expression, and Fig. 9 is the planimetric map of first substrate 1 of above-mentioned liquid crystal indicator.The liquid crystal indicator of this example is formed by a pair of substrate clamping liquid crystal layer of forming with first substrate 1 and second substrate 23.

First substrate, 1 usefulness insulativity transparency carrier (for example glass substrate) constitutes, in its surface as shown in Figure 9, many roots utmost point bus 11 and Duo Gen grid bus 12 form orthogonally, and, adjacent source bus line 11 and grid bus 12 round part become a pixel.Therefore, each pixel just is rectangular configuration.Source bus line 11 and grid bus 12 work as the electric wiring to each pixel service voltage.

In the crossover sites of source bus line 11 and grid bus 12, disposing TFT13 as the active switch element of the ON/OFF switch that carries out each pixel.The gate electrode 13a of TFT13 connects grid bus 12, and source electrode 13b connects source bus line 11, and drain electrode 13c connects the transparency electrode 14a as pixel electrode.In addition, form auxiliary capacitor on first substrate 1,, form gate insulating film 16 in order to cover this auxiliary capacitor with electrode 15 with electrode (auxiliary capacitor is with connecting up) 15.

Also having, in this example, is auxiliary capacitor independently to be set with electrode 15, uses but also grid bus 12 can be used to connect up as auxiliary capacitor.

Above-mentioned transparency electrode 14a for example constitutes with the nesa coating that ITO forms.By transparency electrode 14a is set, can in pixel, forms and carry out the regional transmission that transmission-type shows.Successively that interlayer dielectric 1718 is stacked together on drain electrode 13c, transparency electrode 14a is formed at the surface of interlayer dielectric 18.Be interlayer dielectric 18 cover part TFT13 at least, transparency electrode 14a is located on the part upper strata of this interlayer dielectric 18 at least.

Form the contact hole 19 that transparency electrode 14a and drain electrode 13c are electrically connected on first substrate 1.And, in the liquid crystal layer 3 one sides formation alignment films 20 of transparency electrode 14a.

Second substrate, 2 usefulness insulativity transparency carriers (for example glass substrate) constitute, on its surface, and stacked dyed layer 21, photomask 21b, the counter electrode 22 and the alignment films 23 that for example form by ITO as chromatic color filter.

Dyed layer 21 and the pixel matching that part in counter electrode 22 and the mutual subtend of transparency electrode 14a forms are arranged to cover photomask 21b.Photomask 21b can select need and establish, and also it can be saved.In addition, photomask 21b also can be laminated on the dyed layer 21.

First substrate 1 of clamping liquid crystal layer 3 and second substrate, 2 transmission column daggers 25 are fitted, and make alignment films 2023 subtends.Thus, utilize column dagger 25 to make the thickness of liquid crystal layer 3 keep certain.

Column dagger 25 forms the shape that section slightly is polygon-octagonal on the dyed layer 21 of second substrate 2, its allocation position is equivalent to the position of the auxiliary capacitor of first substrate 1 with electrode 15.In addition, column dagger 25 is formed on second substrate 2, makes that the part of itself and a plurality of contact hole 19 is overlapping.About the stacked order of column dagger 25 and alignment films 23 then as shown in Figure 8, alignment films 23 can be on column dagger 25, formed, also column dagger 25 can be on alignment films 23, formed.Moreover, so pay no attention to the situation of alignment films and 25 stacked order of column dagger, we can say it all is general in all examples.

The formation auxiliary capacitor is to showing the zone of not having help on transmission-type shows with the zone of electrode 15.Therefore, as this example,, can avoid because the display quality that configuration column dagger 25 causes descends by column dagger 25 being configured in auxiliary capacitor with on the electrode 15.Dispose light-shielding pattern because of also descending again, so also can avoid the reduction of each pixel aperture ratio for fear of the display quality that column dagger 25 causes.

[example 3]

With reference to accompanying drawing, illustrate that now another other the example of the present invention is as follows.Also have, the same member numbering of mark on the formation identical with example 1 or 2, it illustrates omission.

For example, Figure 10 is formed with for column dagger 25 in the transmissive liquid crystal display device of example 2 that area is tetragonal shape than the big section of area of the peristome 19a of contact hole 19 and the planimetric map of first substrate 1 when being configured to cover its peristome.Here, contact hole 19 is the rectangle of growing 14 μ m, wide 18 μ m for the plane, and its aperture area is 14 * 18=252 μ m ²

Usually, for the basal area (with the contact area of substrate) of the required column dagger 25 of the thickness that keeps liquid crystal layer 3 depends on the material of column dagger 25 or the thickness of liquid crystal layer 3 etc., consider to get 185 μ m in the present embodiment ²At this moment, in the formation of Figure 10,, guarantee 252+185=437 μ m as the basal area of column dagger 25 ²Area.

In addition, if the basal area of column dagger 25 is excessive, then at TFT substrate i.e. first substrate 1 and CF substrate when promptly second substrate 2 is fitted, because the friction force of 2 of the column dagger 25 and first substrate 1 or second substrates becomes big, the fine position difficulty that becomes in the contraposition operation of two substrates sometimes.Therefore, preferably the basal area of column dagger 25 is not gone overboard ground greatly.

Therefore, in this example, by constituting column dagger 25, make in the column dagger 25 and contact hole 19 overlapping areas are not the whole of contact hole 19, and overlap, thereby can avoid above-mentioned problem with contact hole 19.Below be that example is elaborated with embodiment 1 to 3.

Also having, in embodiment 1～3, is to be that example describes with the transmissive liquid crystal display device that example 2 illustrate, still, even the Semitransmissive that certain example 1 illustrated or the liquid crystal indicator of reflection-type also can adopt following formation.In addition, among the embodiment 1～3, rectangle (the aperture area 252 μ m that constitute long 14 μ m, wide 18 μ m of plane of contact hole 19 ²).

(embodiment 1)

Figure 11 is the planimetric map of first substrate 1 of the liquid crystal indicator of present embodiment.In the present embodiment, column dagger 25 its section configurations are rectangle (the basal area 210 μ m of long 30 μ m, wide 7 μ m ²), be configured to overlap with contact hole 19.

Also have, in this example, column dagger 25 is formed at first substrate, 1 one sides that TFT13 forms.Therefore, even depart from the applying generation of first substrate 1 and second substrate 2, column dagger 25 is still constant for the allocation position of contact hole 19.Therefore, different with embodiment described later 2 and 3 in the present embodiment, the applying with substrate does not depart from (5 μ m) as considering object.

In the present embodiment, the basal area of column dagger 25 is 210 μ m ², bigger than contact area 185 μ m for the required column dagger 25 of the thickness that keeps liquid crystal layer 3.Therefore, as shown in this embodiment, by to adopt column dagger 25 be not with the whole of contact hole 19 but have and the formation of a part of overlapping areas, support shape 25, make it both guarantee desired above-mentioned contact area 185 μ m thereby constitute column ², again as the basal area of column dagger 25, (basal area 437 μ m in the time of realizing than Figure 10 ²) littler basal area (210 μ m ²).Finally can suppress 2 friction force of the column dagger 25 and second substrate and increase, two fine position in the substrate contraposition operation are carried out easily.

In addition, under the situation of the whole overlapping Figure 10 that forms column dagger 25 and contact hole 19, the position of the shape of column dagger 25, size and configuration thereof is subjected to the constraint of the shape of contact hole 19, size, position.But as shown in this embodiment, form when overlapping with contact hole 19 at column dagger 25, then just do not have this constraint, its degree of freedom increases.So, can suppress the decline of aperture opening ratio, perhaps also can reduce the orientation confusion of liquid crystal.

(embodiment 2)

In the present embodiment, be located in the formation of Fig. 9 (example 2) of second substrate, 2 one sides, the section configuration of column dagger 25 is made the circumscribed octagon of circle with radius 10 μ m at column dagger 25.Also have, based on the reason in the manufacturing of the mask of making column dagger 25 usefulness, the section configuration of the column dagger 25 of present embodiment is not a polygon-octagonal.More specifically be, the section configuration of column dagger 25 is 4 limits that constitute in these octagonal 8 limits, the length of side every a limit for example is 8 μ m, and the length on every limit of all the other 4 limits (for example being positioned at the middle limit, two limits of 8 μ m, totally 4) for example is 8.4 μ m.Therefore, in the present embodiment, the basal area of column dagger 25 becomes (8 * 10 * 4/2)+(8.4 * 10 * 4/2)=328 μ m ²

As described in present embodiment, when the section configuration of column dagger 25 is octagon, as column dagger 25 being designed to for example as described above 328 μ m of its basal area ²Even then the applying of first substrate 1 and second substrate 2 departs from the bias that produces 5 μ m on above-below direction and left and right directions simultaneously, still can guarantee contact area 185 μ m for the required column dagger 25 of the thickness that keeps liquid crystal layer 3 ²

Therefore, as described in present embodiment,, depart from (for example 5 μ m on above-below direction and the left and right directions), guaranteeing required contact area 185 μ m even the applying of substrate produces by adopting column dagger 25 and contact hole 19 partly overlapping formations ²The time, again as the basal area of column dagger 25, can realize situation (basal area 437 μ m than Figure 10 ²) littler basal area (328 μ m ²).Finally,, still can reduce the friction force of 1 of the column dagger 25 and first substrate, the contraposition of substrate is carried out etc. easily, obtain and effect that embodiment 1 is same although the applying of substrate is departed from as situation about considering.

(embodiment 3)

Figure 12 is the planimetric map of first substrate 1 of the liquid crystal indicator of present embodiment.In the present embodiment, column dagger 25 its section configurations are trapezoidal, and this trapezoidal size for example is upper base 4 μ m, the 12 μ m that go to the bottom, high 31 μ m, and area is 248 μ m ²And column dagger 25 is formed on second substrate, 2 one sides, makes it overlapping with the part of contact hole 19 respectively.

When the section configuration of column dagger 25 was above-mentioned size trapezoidal, the applying of substrate for example departed from when left and right directions 5 μ m, as upper and lower to applying do not have and depart from, then can keep above-mentioned contact area 185 μ m as can be known from various result of calculations ²In addition, depart from when for example being 5 μ m along the vertical direction,, then calculate and to keep above-mentioned contact area 185 μ m as can be known from each as long as the applying of left and right directions departs from 4.3 μ m in the applying of substrate ²

So, as described in present embodiment,,, the applying of substrate departs from (for example above-below direction or left and right directions 5 μ m) even producing by adopting column dagger 25 and contact hole 19 partly overlapping formations, also can guarantee required contact area 185 μ m ²,, can realize situation (basal area 437 μ m than Figure 10 simultaneously again as the basal area of column dagger 25 ²) littler basal area (328 μ m ²).Finally,, still can reduce the friction force of 1 of the column dagger 25 and first substrate, carry out the contraposition of substrate etc. easily, obtain the effect same with example 1 although the applying of substrate is departed from as situation about considering.

Example 2 and 3 and for example, form column dagger 25 with the size overlapping (section configuration) with the part of a plurality of contact holes 19, promptly on second substrate 2, form column dagger 25 and make that the part of column dagger 25 and contact hole 19 overlapping areas and a plurality of contact hole 19 is overlapping, thereby produce the error that can reduce contact area when departing from the applying of substrate.About this point, below, be that example illustrates it with embodiment 2.

Figure 13 A to Figure 13 c be illustrated in column dagger 25 when forming with the overlapping size of the part of a plurality of contact holes 19, the position relation of column dagger 25 and a plurality of contact hole 19.Also have, the oblique line among the figure is partly represented the ground area of the column dagger 25 and first substrate 1.As described in Figure 13 A, equably with the part in each hole of two contact holes 19 when overlapping (substrate does not have when departing from), the contact area of the column dagger 25 and first substrate 1 (area of figure bend part) for example is 192.00 μ m at column dagger 25 ²

Then shown in Figure 13 B, second substrate, 2 relative first substrates 1 in one direction (for example left direction) when departing from 5m, above-mentioned contact area is reduced to 185.75 μ m.In addition, shown in Figure 13 C, when second substrate, 2 relative first substrates 1 departed from 5 μ m on opposite direction (the right direction), above-mentioned contact area was reduced to 185.75 μ m.

Like this, when forming with the overlapping size of the part of a plurality of contact holes 19, above-mentioned contact area is at 185.75 μ m at column dagger 25 ²To 192.0 μ m ²Between the change, its variation range is 6.25 μ m to the maximum.

Different therewith is, Figure 14 A to Figure 14 C represent column dagger 25 with and the position relation of 19 of contact hole 19 partly overlapping sizes when forming, column dagger 25 and contact holes.Also have, the oblique line among the figure is partly represented the ground area of the column dagger 25 and first substrate 1.Shown in Figure 14 A, when column dagger 25 and a contact hole 19 are overlapped (substrate does not have when departing from), the contact area of the column dagger 25 and first substrate 1 (the oblique line part area among the figure) for example is 260.00 μ m ²

Then, as shown in Figure 14B, when second substrate, 2 relative first substrates 1 departed from 5 μ m on a direction (for example left direction), above-mentioned contact area was reduced to 190.00 μ m ²On the other hand, shown in Figure 14 C, when second substrate, 2 relative first substrates 1 departed from 5 μ m on opposite direction (the right direction), above-mentioned contact area increased to 323.75 μ m on the contrary ²

Like this, when forming column dagger 25 with the partly overlapping size of a contact hole 19, above-mentioned contact area is just at 190.00 μ m ²To 323.75 μ m ²Between the change, its mobility scale is 133.75 μ m to the maximum ²

As mentioned above, compare with a contact hole 19 mode that forms column dagger 25 of overlapping, few with the overlap mode that forms column dagger 25 of two contact holes 19 in the change that the applying of substrate produces the contact area of column dagger 25 and first substrate 1 when departing from.Because according to the contact area difference, pressurization during baseplate-laminating or liquid crystal injection time etc. are all different, so consider from the liquid crystal indicator manufacturing, contact area is equable more satisfactory.That is, column dagger 25 is overlapped by formation and two contact holes 19, thereby can make liquid crystal indicator easily.

According to above explanation, can do various modifications or distortion to the present invention, this point is conspicuous.Therefore, the present invention is not limited to concrete elaboration here, can implement in the accompanying Claim scope, please be understood this.
